Then you need to turn them over so that the small end is pointed down.

I put my eggs in my incubator a week ago (small end up), I found this and turned them the other way. Is it to late?

They'll probably turn out ok. Having them upside isn't ideal for them, but neither does it mean they'll all die. I wouldn't worry too much.

I had my eggs in our incubator (has an egg turner)for 1 week with the pointed end up, read this and turned them pointed end down. Did I ruin them or will it be ok?
P.S. I'm new to raising chickens

They have a better chance with the pointed end down. You'll have a better idea if you candle in a couple of days to see how they are doing.

What happens if the eggs are laying down

Hopefully what happens is they develope and you have lots of fuzzies hatch...lol If you are incubating laying down you don't have to worry about the postioning of the air cell, but you do have to make sure that you are turning your eggs at least 3 's a day
